Cleveland Browns: Peter King reporting Browns exploring draft trade

If Peter King is correct, the Browns will be making three picks in the first round of the draft on May 8.
The Sports Illustrated writer, in his Monday Morning Quarterback column, wrote Browns general manager Ray Farmer has talked to a team picking late in the first round about acquiring that pick for the Browns’ second-round pick and more. According to King, the motive is to make the third first-round pick before Houston is on the clock with the 33rd overall pick — the first pick in the second round — because King expects the Texans to take a quarterback with the 33rd pick.
The trade would allow the Browns to pick other positions with their first two first-round picks and move ahead of the quarterback-needy Texans and Jaguars in the second round. That plan could change if the Texans or Jaguars take a quarterback with the first or third pick, respectively.
King suggested the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, who own the final (32nd) pick in the first round, as a potential trade partner. The Browns have two picks in the third round and two in the fourth and would probably have to give up a fourth-round choice, plus the second-round pick, for the extra first-round pick.
A deal like the one put forth by King would give the Browns picks four, 26 and 32 in the first round. But Farmer might not be content with that.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting the Browns’ first choice for the fourth pick is Auburn tackle Greg Robinson. He said Plan B if Robinson is off the board is to draft Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel or trade down.
Farmer has made it clear he is open to trading in the first round. He said he will talk to “eight to 10” general managers in the 24 hours before the draft.
